A Brief Edinburgh Stopover

Mr B spent last week in Edinburgh, so I went down to join him for a night before we both travelled back to Inverness.

We managed to grab some tasty Greek food at Ola Kala near to Haymarket (no website-but take a look at the reviews). We shared dips and pitta to start, followed by pork souvlaki/gyros dishes, with soft drinks for £20! The tzatziki was some of the best we’ve had, and the aubergine-garlic dip (I’ve forgotten the traditional name!) was so moreish. Freshly cooked, pillowly pittas drizzled with extra virgin olive oil mopped these up quite adequately!

Heading back towards our accommodation, we stumbled upon a new (to us) Whisky bar – Usquabae (meaning, “the water of life” in gaelic). Mr B enjoyed an ale (Long White Cloud) and a dram of Scapa from Orkney – which is now pronounced his favourite Scottish whisky. We holed ourselves in one of the booths and enjoyed our drinks.

A walk along Princes Street while the sun was setting finished off our evening in perfect style.
